  • I wish I could speak another language. I know that it would help me understand English far better.

  • @LatumWay I've found, oddly enough, that learning other languages has helped me understand English idioms and syntax far more completely.

  • @CountHektor Absolutely. I mean, even my tentative exploration into Esperanto had me picking up on things. Like, why do we say "I have a car."? The 'a' is actually entirely unnecessary, as Esperanto points out by blatantly getting rid of it.

  • after watching a couple vids I want to say it means ugh as said by a caveman or smurf by a smurf.

  • @fruitikay Everything I do is awesome =p

  • @Justwosweet I actually liked the drivin'! :D

  • people are going to start thinking you are crazy talking to yourself in your truck

  • @CountHektor I'm really lazy, so I'll watch some videos about "on being and time" and get the gist of it. thanks for the suggestion.

  • @Justwosweet I really recommend reading Heideggers book "On Being and Time" it's a short read, about 40 pages, and worth about 80 in notes and relational concepts.

  • I had a feeling you drove a doge!
